Henri: Moderate-Major impacts NYC subforum this weekend, possibly into Monday August 21-23, 2021

[ForestHillWx]

River flood warnings on the Rockaway, Whippany, and Pequannock rivers so far. Rains have ended here and moved East. 

[gravitylover]

Up to .9 since the rain started back up early this morning and it's still on the heavy side of moderate. More wind too

Closing in on 7 inches total (6.93) at my station with this morning’s rain.

Incredible 

Parts of Brooklyn  are probably approaching 10 inches.

[sojitodd]

At 7.92 inches so far, you would think that would be a snow storm total at Central Park, not a rain storm total. Looks like it is about over though.

Models have rain rotating through all day

[Snowlover11]

rain is done for now but showers and t-storms possible later, especially if we get some sun to destabilize us.

I can't even remember the last time I had a snowfall storm total at 8 inches! Maybe back in 2008? At least it looks like nobody died in this in NYC, and the damage seems less than I thought it would be with these amounts. 

 

Henri may have basically crapped out, but these rainfall totals are historic-broke a record or two.  Always interesting when a record or two falls in an event. A one hour rainfall record being broken is nothing to sneeze at.

[nyrangers1022]

Guess I lied.  According to official measurement here in village is at 2.92.  I don't know how, never seemed to rain that hard lol

Good morning nycr ( great ID ). You didn’t lie, it was the truth as you perceived it. That’s how it ends up with many of us. At least until we get hammered by cold hard statistics. As always ….

Haven’t been following this one too closely and being at my parents house in Monmouth County we didn’t really get much.

 

That said I need to take the parkway or turnpike north to Westchester County NY today. Think I should be ok to depart here around 10am?

For now portions of the Hutch, and most of the Saw Mill pkwy is closed. Bronx River pkwy is closed past 233rd st to White Plains

It is right there lol. West Jefferson is a hellhole about 20 miles west of Columbus and a screw zone for any kind of interesting weather.  We did have a small tornado touch down and cause damage a few miles south of me a year or two ago-but nothing interesting weather-wise happens here. This has been the one of the most boring summers weather wise here so I have to get my fix in other areas following tropical storms, heat waves, etc. hence my being in this thread

 

*plus I love NYC- of all of the major cities I have visited people were the friendliest there to me-quite the opposite of the stereotype.  Also I am a skyscraper nerd so...

 

*8.05 storm total at Central Park as of 8am.

Good morning Anthony. I do and you are hopefully too young to, remember when an 8+ snowfall , despite the zoo keeper measurements, was a rare event in our area. As always …

Makes sense to me. I’m sandwiched between that 7.73” in Bridgewater and the multiple 6” in mt. Olive.

My basement took on a few inches of water overnight, which is par for the course in very long, heavy rains. Thankful it’s unfinished and made of fieldstone from 1850. 

[nyrangers1022]

Some blue skies and sun trying to peak through lol.  Probably will fire up storms

Yeah I think it’s mostly going to be sprinkles and those puffy high clouds today. The main low is pulling outta here. Also someone mentioned if we get the sun to destabilize the atmosphere we’ll get thunderstorms, I think that’s false, the atmosphere is drying out so chances of thunderstorm for today at least are dropping by the minute. Maybe a shower

It has to be north Brooklyn because there is barely any flooding in south Brooklyn.

3.04 here. If you look at the maps Wdrag posted, there were 2 reports, one  in upper amounts of 3 and the other report of over 4” right across the River from us. I’m thinking that orgographic lifting had an affect to the fluctuation.

[wdrag]

Am I correct??? CP now at 9.51 for the month with their 0.93” at 12z on the 6 hr ob????  We do have a chance of 10+ for August.  

[nycsnow]

Wonder if some storms fire up today
